Why most people thinks that stepmom is cruel?

Answer 1

I guess it's because of the many portrayals of stepmothers in films or in television shows. It's all about the media.

Answer 2

I don't know if most people think that, but I think the notion came from the children believing that the step mom is taking the place of the birth mom. The step mom is in a position that she has to be very careful of what she does and says so it is not taken as mean or cruel.

Answer 3

I think that sometimes step parents just "rush right in" and try to take charge of stepchildren without stepping back and letting things progress gradually in the new relationship with step children.

But this isn't always true... some people realize that their step children have been through quite a lot because of their parents' divorces, and their mom or dad's subsequent remarriage.

I think step parents who consider the feelings and needs of those around them, who don't pressure the kids to "like" them are much better off.

Answer 7

My stepsons don't think I'm cruel, though they don't think much of their step dad. He treats them with indifference which has got to be hard for them considering they love their mom and live with the guy...

Answer 8

Usually the step mom sees step children as getting in the way of their happiness with the father.
